Troubleshooting Software-Interaction Problems
If the physical network and basic configuration procedures in the preceding sections do not
resolve your problem, focus on software problems. The most common software problems
are related to firewalls.
Many third-party antivirus programs include built-in firewalls. You may not realize that you
installed the firewall component when you installed the antivirus software, and now the
firewall may be interfering with your network connectivity.
To troubleshoot software problems:
1. Disconnect your network from the Internet so that you can safely disable any firewalls or
antivirus software while you troubleshoot.
2. Disconnect the Gateway from the Internet and unplug the Gateway.
3. After you are off the Internet, disable any antivirus or firewall programs you have, including
Internet Connection Firewall or Windows Firewall, on all the computers that have problems.
If this step solves the problem, the problem exists with one of these Windows features or
products. Enable one at a time and see when things break again. When they do, you know
where the problem is and you can either replace that product with one that does not cause
problems or change the program's configuration to resolve the problem.
